Angel Reese’s mother had some crude remarks for fans of her daughter’s rival, Caitlin Clark.

The second-year stars returned to the court this weekend, with Reese heading back to Baton Rouge with the Chicago Sky for a preseason fixture against the Brazil women’s national team on Friday. Clark played the South American team on Sunday, having made a homecoming herself.

They both had very decent outings. Reese recorded another double-double, registering 15 points and 10 rebounds, while Clark scored 16 points in her appearance, draining a three from logo range and adding six rebounds and five assists.

As expected, Clark’s game drew all the attention, as tickets sold out and ESPN broadcast the contest.

Close to 15,000 people showed up for Caitlin’s return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena while Reese’s Sky brought out just over 6,000 fans.

 

Reese’s mom took to social media to respond to fans pointing out the disparity in ticket sales, stating that her daughter brought a championship to LSU while Clark supporters can only cheer attendance numbers.

“Aww that certain fan base looking in the stands celebrating ‘attendance’ while others are looking up in the rafters celebrating championship banners,” she tweeted. “We ain’t the same. Different year same haters. Have a great day.”

Angel Reese & Caitlin Clark To Square Off In The First Game Of The Upcoming WNBA Season

Reese and the Lady Tigers defeated Iowa in the 2023 National Title game. The contest sparked a rivalry due to Reese’s ring taunts at Clark near the end of the game.

While the Hawkeyes avenged the loss the following year with a win over LSU in the Elite Eight, they would go on to lose to South Carolina in the final.

Of the two, Angel is the one who boasts a championship, yet Caitlin remains the more popular player, by far, and attracts more eyes than anyone else in women’s basketball.

As luck would have it, they will open their sophomore seasons against each other, with the Fever and Sky scheduled to square off on May 17.
